  Taking a gondola ride through the canals of Venice was an unforgettable experience—romantic, peaceful, and truly one-of-a-kind. From the moment we stepped into the beautifully crafted gondola, we felt transported back in time. It is high season so we booked online but there was a lot available onsite for $40 Euro's a person.

  You need to walk like 10 min from the meeting point. I travelled with my 77 y/o mother and it was difficult to keep up with the sprint to get to the gondola. Once you get there the trip it is indeed 30 min but is not what you would expect at all is a small tour from very random canals… the gondoleros were not very interested and were speaking to each others about work. Not very special. I would not recommended it.

• Choose Another Gondola Company

  The only reason I gave this a 2 instead of a 1 is because we did get a gondola ride. The location to find the gondola was not clear. The gondola “driver” didn’t even talk to us at all. He took us for a short time out on the main canal (another reason I have a 2 because that was the only good part of the trip). Then he took us down some super super crowded “alleys” in Venice in which we only saw the back sides of some very dirty and shambled buildings. Then he spent the whole time trying to navigate with many many other gondolas. We had precooked this so that we had a procured time spot at a busy time but walking around Venice there were many spots and companies to get rides with and as we watched many of those and saw lots of Venice by walking - it was clear we could’ve easily gotten a more scenic gondola ride from another company and/or at another spot. The only thing I told my kids was at least you can say you went on a gondola ride in Venice but other than that we were really disappointed!! And it was way over priced for what we got.

  Very under well Ming experience for the money you spend the ride is a rip off. You go around in a square where there isn’t anything to see. Very disappointing

• Gossiping gondoleers

  This 'tour' is misnamed. Its 5 min walk and queuing for a gondola for another 5 mins, before being taken around the block in a boat. At best, it's a 'ride', but the 'guide' after telling us one fact about the canal he spent the rest of the ride gossiping with the other gondaleers. Then, after 20 mins in the water (advertised as 30) we are back at the pier, spent 5 mins waiting to get off, and then we're done. Oh and do we want to leave a tip... As other reviewers have said, it ticked a box, but I think that you'd be much better served finding another ride, or even paying a little more for a proper tour, elsewhere in the city.
